I’ve had one of those weeks where I’ve walked out thinking… I actually love what I do.
Not just because of the treatments — but the people I get to meet. I really look forward to each and everyone of you coming in.
I have treated a mix of everything in the last week— sore feet, blisters, thick nails, verrucas, corns, long nails, hard skin, ankle pain and foot pain… all the stuff people put up with for ages before finally booking in.
Seen a few runners as well who’ve clearly pushed themselves (fair play 👏🏼) but now paying for it a bit. During a full biomechanical assessment and gait analysis — I check how their feet naturally align , then ask them to stand up and then walk, a bit of honest advice on footwear, and getting the right insoles if they need them. Both footwear and orthotics ( insoles) makes a bigger difference than people think.
Sorted some sore heels too — the kind where your first few steps in the morning are awful. Used shockwave to help calm that down.
And one of my favourites this week ( apart from the 99 year old (very fit and healthy) patient whose eldest child is 80! And I thought my kids were old at 19 and 24) was helping someone feel good about their nail again before going on holiday with nail reconstruction. It’s not always about pain, sometimes it’s just about confidence.
Every appointment’s different, every person’s different — and that’s what I love most.
All new patients, I do a full foot health check and footwear assessment.
Always relaxed, friendly and no judgement. AND if you need extra time if anxious etc then please let me know by calling me and I will ensure you have the time you need at no extra cost.
I've only got a few appointments left over the Bank Holiday weekend if you want to get in and join me at Valentines Podiatry🦶
